Michael engaged in photography since 1985, when he
got his first camera, an all manual Rollei 35 and a
few rolls of Kodak Ektachrome. In 1987 Canon
offered one of the first SLR systems with
autofocus, the EOS (Electro-Optical System). It is
still Canon's digital SLR system today. Michael got
his EOS 650 and first EF lenses back then and used
it amongst other cameras until 2003, when he made
the switch to digital photography.

Over the years Michael has worked with a variety of
film and digital still cameras (Canon, Nikon,
Olympus, Sony, etc.), 35mm, 16mm and digital
motion-picture cameras (ARRI, Panavision, Sony,
RED, etc.) as well as analog and digital video
equipment.
For visual effects as well as creative photography
he uses hand selected photographic gear from a
variety of brands, like Canon, Leica, Zeiss, or
Nikon, delivering the required high-end technical
quality and professional performance.
